Dear all,
I am trying to select all boundaries in a certain plane in Comsol 4.2. It is almost impossible to select by hand beacuse there are 1600 boundaries in the plane. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks very much!

If you haven't already done the following, consider this: After you click on the "geometry" level in the Model Builder, you should be able to find a little button among the row of buttons at the top of the screen that is the "select box" button (just hover the mouse cursor over them until you find it). Orient your geometry in a convenient way, click that button, then use the mouse to select large numbers of surfaces at once.

Hi

you can also define several views and remove some of the entities from the view, then it's easier to select in complex models. You can play with the Definition selection lists too particularly for complex models. On the FORUM somewhere I described an nice way to use the view and selecting view suppressions to fill in selection lists for materials

Good luck
